Ghoochan Rug origins in Ghoochan City is located in northwestern Iran, just southwest of Mashad. In medieval times it was known as Khabooshan and Khoojan. Today Ghoochan is an important collection point for Kurdish and Afshar tribal and village rugs. An area rug woven in Ghoochan will often feature the same designs as those produced in other locations in the northwest, with Caucasian Kurdish rugs, and with Afshar rugs. Both Persian and Turkish knots may be used to weave Ghoochan rugs and the only way to tell which knot was used on a particular area rug is to carefully inspect the back. The average KPSI (knots per square inch) on a Ghoochan rug is approximately 120.[citation needed]
